Fuel Injection Cleaner/anti freeze
i just recently decided i should buy some fuel injection cleaner being that i doubt the guy who had the car before put any in since 94...i used Techron brand, just curiouse as too how often i should use this and if thats a good brand my gf's father who owns his own shop said it was a beter brand for my car. also how often do you normally change anti freeze in the car, my heats not working and im pretty sure thats the reason.

well the fuel injector cleaner isnt required that often. i dont know if theres a mileage, like every 20000 miles...but i use it like every six months...and as for coolant, i think once a year or so...

the techron stuff is decent, and should be used probably every oil change (or just buy chevron gas that has it included) coolant is supposed to be every 6 months (yeah like anyone does that) I do once a year usually spring, make sure and change the t stat as well

and learn to adjust with the proper tools (I have only met a couple of people who know how), still have to clean it, and rebuild an old one not buy a new one (except maybe demon) then deal with a bit less power, less reliability, and lower millage
